Chapter 694: Chapter 624, Joining Tongxin Locks_1 Chapter 694: Chapter 624, Joining Tongxin Locks_1 Daohua and Xiao Yeyang finished casting divination blocks and then left the grand hall.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile, “Do you dare to climb ‘One Line Sky’ on Feng Mountain with me?”

Daohua raised an eyebrow, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve long heard that the scenery of One Line Sky encompasses the thrilling, the steep, and the secluded all in one. I’ve wanted to come and see it for myself for a while now.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled, taking Daohua’s hand, “Then let’s go.”

Daohua stood still, “My third brother and the others haven’t come up yet. Let’s wait for them.”

Xiao Yeyang, “Are you sure your three sisters can make it up?”

At this moment, Defu approached with a smile, “Miss Yan, Delu just went to check, and Third Master Yan and the others haven’t even reached halfway up the mountain yet. The second Miss Yan and her group have to rest after every bit of climbing. It might take an hour or two more for them to reach the top.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, “Let’s go then. I’ve left someone here who will inform Wentao where we’ve gone as soon as they arrive.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua said no more and followed Xiao Yeyang towards the back mountain of Taifeng Temple.

Just as Wang Manman and Bi Shi were about to follow, Defu stopped them.

Defu, “Let’s not disturb the master and Miss Yan while they’re mountain climbing.”

Wang Manman frowned, “But what if the miss needs us to serve her?”

Defu said as a matter of fact, “Isn’t my master there with her?”

Bi Shi, “But what if they encounter danger?”

Defu continued with a smile, “That won’t happen. The master has already had people scout out the area. Don’t worry, it’s very safe.”

Not waiting for further comment, Defu ushered them to pluck the pomelos nearby.

“The pomelos from Taifeng Temple are very sweet. Let’s pick more to take back for your miss to enjoy.”

One Line Sky is located on the eastern part of Feng Mountain. Legend has it that it was created by two deities clashing, with one wielding a sharp axe to split the cliff. The fissure is nearly three hundred meters deep, with the narrowest part just wide enough for one person to pass through, and barely a meter wide at the broadest, extending for several kilometers.

Soon, Xiao Yeyang led Daohua to the entrance of One Line Sky.

Daohua marveled at the uniquely shaped, deep, and narrow passage, “Nature truly is the most masterful craftsman.”

“What are you muttering about? Hurry up and follow.”

Xiao Yeyang took the lead into the crevice path.

Daohua followed suit.

Xiao Yeyang often looked back at Daohua, reminding her, “Be careful with your footing, the ground here is uneven. Don’t twist your ankle.”

Daohua nodded. In ancient times, unlike modern days, places like One Line Sky were not developed into tourist spots with paved steps. The ground here was naturally uneven, making it quite uncomfortable to walk on.

Once inside One Line Sky, Daohua couldn’t help but look up in awe as a single line of daylight trickled through the cliff split, resembling a rainbow across the sky, utterly magnificent.

But after a short while, Daohua began to pant heavily.

No surprise there, the unexplored One Line Sky had many steep areas requiring hands and feet to climb.

Looking at the several-meter-high cliff path ahead, Daohua glanced down at her now somewhat dirty skirt hem and couldn’t help but look back as if considering whether to turn back.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang extended his hand, “Come, I’ll pull you up.”

Daohua hesitated for a while before reaching out her hand.

In the wider parts of the crevice, Xiao Yeyang could pull Daohua along, but in the narrower sections, Daohua had to climb up on her own.

Though tiring, once deep inside the cliff path, the cool breeze blowing through was exceedingly refreshing.

“I can’t go on, I need a rest.”

Two-thirds of the way up, Daohua was depleted, both her hands and feet aching.

Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua rubbing her hands and quickly pulled them over to check, noticing that both palms were red. He bent down to blow on them, “Can you continue?”

Daohua nodded and pulled her hands back.

Seeing she was indeed tired, Xiao Yeyang hesitated, “Shall we turn back?”

Daohua was reluctant, “We’ve come this far, how can we give up halfway?”

After resting a while, the two continued their climb.

By the time they made it up One Line Sky, Daohua was completely exhausted. Not caring about the dirt, she sat directly on the ground, pounding her tender legs and said, “No wonder all the ladies talk about the lovely scenery of One Line Sky but never consider visiting. I’m exhausted like this, I can only imagine they wouldn’t fare any better.”

Xiao Yeyang sat down next to Daohua, then lifted her legs onto his, “Let me massage them for you.”

Feeling Xiao Yeyang’s hands pressing against her legs, Daohua felt slightly uncomfortable and tried to retract her legs, though without success.
